I’ve just installed the latest Manjaro to a new Dell Inspiron laptop, and there is no sound. Scanned through similar problems in this forum but they seem unresolved (to the extend I can understand them!
Here’s my output from the recommended inxi command:

I’m very non-technical. How should I go about getting the sound working?
Thanks
